Abstract: (APS)
Instead of parametrizing the pressure-density relation of a neutron star (NS), one can parametrize its macroscopic properties such as mass (), radius (), and dimensionless tidal deformability () to infer the equation of state (EOS) combining electromagnetic and gravitational wave (GW) observations. We present a new method to parametrize and relations, which approximates the candidate EOSs with accuracy better than 5% for all masses and spans a broad region of the plane. Using this method we combine the measurement from GW170817 and GW190425, and simultaneous measurement of pulsars PSR and PSR to place joint constraints on NS properties. At 90% confidence, we infer and for a NS, and for a NS. Furthermore, we use the inferred values of the maximum mass of a nonrotating NS to investigate the nature of the secondary objects in three potential neutron star–black hole merger (NSBH) systems.Note:
